R.V., Roberta, and family: This is a true shock for me. I am so so sorry for your all’s huge loss. I have always loved you all. Little Kevin always had a hug for me when he saw me. I loved to hear him play and sing. We all know he is singing and playing for Our Lord Jesus and other loved ones in Heaven. To each of you, I pray the Lord gives you strength, comfort, guidance and hope now and all the days to follow. You each will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. With much love and deepest sympathy, Jo Ann Burton, Carlos Burton and family
